ALL FRIENDS TOGETHER

A huge thanks to all members of the Friends of St. Teilo's, but especially to those who have held office this year (Debbie Foley, chair; Maria Zeraschi, vice-chair; Sharon Ennis, secretary; Shauna Rowell, treasurer), and those who have offered their services in office for the coming year (Laura Tomp, chair and Elenor Sevenoaks, vice-chair; secretary, Lou James). Good luck to them in this important role.

The 'Friends' not only do a fabulous job in raising money to enhance the education of the children of St. Teilo's, but they also raise vital funds for other worthy charities, organise social events for children and parents alike, and unite the school in a spirit of family and friendship.

MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING

On September 26, the Friends of St. Teilo's organised a coffee morning to coincide with events all around the country in support of Macmillan Cancer Support. Parents, parishioners, family and friends all gathered to support this worthy cause. Cakes were eaten, tea and coffee drunk and in the process £260 was raised. A big thank you to all who baked, bought and supported in any other way.
